My father-in-law is an AMAZING cook. Once a week we go over to my in-laws house for a home-cooked Chinese feast (we are so lucky!) and the table is piled with plate after plate of lovingly prepared dishes. Somehow he is able to prepare vegetables in a way that showcases their natural flavor without any overpowering accompaniments. His vegetable dishes are so darn good!

This is how my father-in-law makes Chinese broccoli…

INGREDIENTS

Chinese broccoli (I usually make one bunch)

Oyster sauce

~

My in-laws usually purchase a huge pack of Chinese broccoli and split it with me. If you are unsure of where to buy it, go to your local Asian market and they will be sure to have it. When you bring the broccoli home, soak it in water to ensure that it is clean and then cut 1/4 of an inch off the bottom of each stalk.

Place the prepared broccoli in the steamer for 5-6 minutes (until they are tender, but still retain some crunch).

Remove the broccoli from the steamer and drizzle some oyster sauce on top. Serve immediately.
